Chapter 1244: Betrayal and separation
The procedures for reporting to a new unit had long been fixed, so there were almost no disturbances in taking office, and given Suning's current level, there was no possibility of any problems.

It was just that Suning was aiming for the position of chief of staff of the garrison area at the beginning, but after arriving at the fortress, he got the position of deputy commander, which naturally far exceeded Suning's initial career expectations.

You know, although the chief of staff and the deputy commander are both deputy division-level officers, the value and treatment of their positions are very different. Suning is naturally very satisfied with the unexpected surprise.

Of course, Suning also knew that it was entirely because the school and the base kept him for more than a year. After all, during this period of time, Suning was also promoted to serve in the first team of the base, so Suning's experience would actually help him get promoted.

Director Wu, who was in charge of logistics at the island garrison, smiled at Su Ning and introduced, "Deputy Commander Su, we have two houses on the island now, so you can choose either one for your residence."

"Director Wu, please give me a brief introduction first." At this time, Su Ning said casually without comment.

"In fact, the two houses have similar land size and scale, but there may be slight differences in the terrain."

"I prefer to climb high and look out into the distance. I feel my mood improves with the sea, so I'll choose a house that's on higher ground."

"Alright! I'll take you there right now, Deputy Commander Su. Also, your neighbor happens to be Commander Zhao from the garrison area."

"Oh? That's quite a coincidence."

In fact, the housing benefits for deputy division-level officers are almost the same, so Suning feels quite satisfied with his new residence. Standing on the roof, he can overlook the sea view of the entire island.

After Suning settled down in his new home on the island, he started his new life and began to look forward to the future.

Of course, this place had already been cleaned up by the logistics department of the garrison area, so Suning saved a lot of trouble, but he, the deputy commander, still needed to fetch water himself.

Of course, Suning never thought of asking those comparable people to fetch water for him. Both they and himself could fetch water for ordinary island residents, but they could not do such a thing for himself, a senior military officer. However, these regulations are precisely the charm of the new society.

However, with his current physical condition, fetching water was like playing a game, and he did not take his position as deputy commander seriously, so after work he would go back and forth between the well and the house.

Wang Haiyang's mother, Zhang Guiying, looked at Su Ning with an exaggerated expression and asked, "Oh! I guess you must be Deputy Commander Su, who just arrived on the island?"

"It's me! I guess sister-in-law, you must be Director Wang's wife, right?" At this time, Su Ning also stated the other party's identity with a smile on his face.

"Deputy Commander Su, how do you know that?" Sure enough, Su Ning's words made Zhang Guiying surprised.

"Haha, I guessed it! I've always heard that Director Wang has a hardworking and virtuous wife. Seeing her today, it's true."

"Deputy Commander Su, your words are so beautiful. You are indeed a learned man."

"Sister-in-law, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back to fetch some water first." Then Su Ning picked up the carrying pole and turned to look at Zhang Guiying and said.

"Okay! Come to my house for dinner when you have time." Finally, Zhang Guiying invited Suning with the same smile.

"Okay! I'll go have a few drinks with Director Wang when I have time."

Looking at the handsome and strong back of Su Ning who was carrying water in front of her, Zhang Guiying also smiled at this time. She felt that he was much better than the big black-faced man in her own family.

You should know that Wang Haiyang's father, Director Wang, has never carried water for the family. Even if the carrying pole at home fell, he was unwilling to bend down to help. Don't expect Director Wang to have a strong body like Su Ning.

Soon, the news about Suning spread throughout the small Songshan Island. With the certification of Zhang Guiying, the good person with a big mouth, Suning unexpectedly got a good start.

While Director Wang and his family were having dinner at home, he looked at his wife Zhang Guiying with a puzzled look and asked, "I heard that you met the new Deputy Commander Su today?"

"Yes! I met her when I was carrying water. She was so pretty and strong. Carrying two buckets of water was like a piece of cake for her." Zhang Guiying was talking fluently at this time.

"Well, Deputy Director Su came to Songshan Island to take up his post this time, but he took the initiative to apply for the transfer. This shows that he is a very conscious young man."

"Oh? Nowadays, young officers like this don't want to come to the island. After all, the island is not as comfortable as living in a big city."

"Humph! People are different. Not everyone is just after pleasure."

"Old Wang, I see he's the deputy commander of our island. It's not appropriate for him to carry water like this every day. How about I help him carry water when I have time?"

"Alright!"

In fact, since Suning has a big bug in the space world, there is no need to carry water back and forth every day. However, it cannot arouse too much suspicion, so it has to be done at the beginning.

But I really didn't expect that there would be so many kind-hearted people in this era. Wang Haiyang's mother Zhang Guiying actually came to fetch water for him. Such preferential treatment and help are not something Suning can easily accept.

Zhang Guiying, carrying a load of water, walked directly into Su Ning's house. Her carefree voice had already been heard, "Deputy Commander Su, the water is here. I poured it into the water tank for you."

"Sister-in-law, how can I trouble you to fetch water for me? Isn't this a slap in my face?" Suning, who heard the noise at this time, naturally widened his eyes in surprise.

"What's the point of talking so much! You are so busy with your work that you won't be able to fetch water when you come back." Zhang Guiying said nonchalantly, but poured the water directly into the water tank.

"Sister-in-law, I don't need much water by myself. Look, there's still half a tank of water left from the water I brought back yesterday."

"That's right! But if you need water again in the future, just call me."

"Huh? Okay." At this moment, Suning was dealing with it in a daze.

Although Suning knew that island and era were both synonymous with simplicity, he did not expect it to be so simple. Even Suning, who had seen many ups and downs, could not help but look sideways.

However, the work on the island was indeed very heavy. Every day, Suning was either running around inspecting the coastal defense work or assisting his superiors in handling official business. He soon forgot about the enthusiastic Lao Wang and his wife Zhang Guiying.

You know, Suning is really young among this group of arrogant soldiers. At the beginning, they were skeptical about whether Suning could do the job of deputy commander well, but soon Suning won the respect of his colleagues and leaders in the island garrison with his actions.

Suning's current personality is knowledgeable and capable, and now he is also so pragmatic and able to endure loneliness, which is rare. Naturally, he is accepted by the leaders of the entire garrison and fortress.

……

At this time, Chen Xiaojun, who was far away in Qingdao, felt very comfortable with Jiang Dehua's help. At the same time, he returned to work at the Naval Political Department Art Troupe, so Chen Xiaojun was really grateful for Jiang Dehua's help in his heart.

An Jie soon gave birth to Jiang Defu's eldest son Jiang Guoqing, so Jiang Dehua felt overwhelmed taking care of two children at once. What was more troublesome was that the relationship between An Jie and Jiang Dehua became more and more tense. Every time they quarreled, An Jie would abandon her children and family and run back to her parents' home.

An Jie drove away Jiang Defu, who came to pick her up from the An family, with a look on her face that deserved a beating. "Jiang Defu, you'd better go back! I won't go back with you. In this family, there is Jiang Dehua, but there is no An Jie."

"Anjie, do you dislike Dehua so much?" Jiang Defu looked at Anjie with disbelief and asked.

"Is this my fault? You see, she seems to be growing up in Suning's house every day. Am I, An Jie, her sister-in-law, or is that Chen Xiaojun her sister-in-law?" However, An Jie felt very aggrieved and kept arguing.

"Anjie, don't you feel ashamed when you say this?"

"I... Jiang Defu, what do you mean by that?" "Ever since my sister came to Qingdao, you've been so rude. Have you ever been kind to Dehua? Look at Su Ning and Chen Xiaojun. Do they really treat Dehua like their own sister?"

"Humph! They're just trying to get Dehua to be their free nanny."

"What about you? Does my sister Jiang Dehua owe you, or do I, Jiang Defu, owe you in my previous life?"

"I……"

"An Jie, I'll give you one last chance. If you keep running back to your parents' house for no reason, then we can get a divorce. My Jiang family is too small to accommodate a great Bodhisattva like you."

"..."

This time, Jiang Defu really lost his patience with the arrogant and domineering An Jie. He also realized that it was a mistake for him to marry a capitalist's daughter, because the two people and their two families have very different ways of living and thinking. This is the fundamental reason why An Jie and Jiang Dehua often have conflicts.

At this time, An Jie and her family were naturally completely dumbfounded. An Jie did not expect that Jiang Defu, who had always been obedient to her, would lose his patience so quickly. She could not help but feel regretful in her heart.

At this moment, An Tai was sullenly scolding An Jie in front of him, "An Jie, stop messing around and go home tomorrow. What's the point of staying at your parents' house every day? Do you really want to divorce Captain Jiang?"

"Let's get divorced! Do you think I, Anjie, am afraid of him?" Anjie said stubbornly, with no way out.

"That's enough! If you divorce Captain Jiang, then don't come back to this family. We don't want someone like you in the An family."

"Brother, how can you be so heartless?" At this time, Anjie looked at his elder brother in disbelief.

"An Jie, am I the one who is being heartless as your brother, or are you the one who is being too much as the Jiang family's daughter-in-law? You quarrel with your sister-in-law every day. Have you ever thought about how our family feels?"

"..."

At this time, An Xin also ran up to persuade An Jie, "Little sister, what big brother said makes sense. You are married now, and you can't act as willfully as before."

"Sister, even you say this to me?" Anjie still didn't realize her mistake.

"Little sister, you really went too far this time. Not only should you not have a conflict with your sister-in-law, but you should not have involved Su Ning and Chen Xiaojun."

"I……"

"Go back! Family needs to be maintained. You can't just think about yourself. That's selfish."

"..."

Jiang Defu's disgust and his family's lack of support made An Jie lose the confidence to stir up trouble. In addition, An Jie was originally a paper tiger with a strong appearance but a weak heart, so he obediently returned to his home at the Naval Artillery School that night.

However, the atmosphere in the Jiang family became very depressing at this time, because Jiang Defu had lost his patience with his misbehaving wife and no longer obeyed An Jie as he did in the original drama.

Chen Xiaojun came to Jiang's house after get off work to pick up the child, "Dehua, where is the child?"

"Xiaojun, are you off work? The child is sleeping in the room! How about I take him back to you when he wakes up?" Jiang Dehua explained in a low voice with a smile on his face.

"Alright! I'll trouble you, Dehua."

"You're welcome."

At this moment, Chen Xiaojun suddenly looked at An Jie, who looked rather unimpressed, and invited him, "An Jie, do you have time to come over to my place and chat?"

"Ah? Okay!"

Then Chen Xiaojun brought An Jie, who looked aggrieved, to his home, and first poured a cup of coffee for the heroine in front of him, "An Jie, come and try my coffee."

"Thank you." Angel took the coffee but was not in any mood. The feeling of being abandoned by everyone was really uncomfortable.

"I've heard about you and Dehua, but do you know why Dehua doesn't like you so much?"

"why?"

"Because she knew about your marriage to Jiang Defu, Jiang Defu lost an opportunity for promotion."

"What? How come I've never heard of it?"

"Anjie, that's why I thought you found a good husband. He never brings home the grievances and emotions from work. Do you know how hard it is to find a man like that?"

"Isn't it the same for Teacher Su?" An Jie asked back for some unknown reason.

"Uh..." No matter how stupid Chen Xiaojun was, he realized something was wrong.

"Forget it! Chen Xiaojun, thank you for telling me this today. I won't quarrel with Jiang Dehua again. And thank you for the coffee."

"..." At this time, Chen Xiaojun naturally looked at An Jie's back with a look of surprise. He always felt that there was something strange in An Jie's tone.

It took him a long time to figure out the general situation. He realized that An Jie might be loyal to Suning. When he thought about An Jie's performance in the past period of time, Chen Xiaojun quickly confirmed his guess.

"Bastard! It's you who's causing trouble again." Chen Xiaojun, who understood what was happening at this time, cursed in a low voice.

However, Suning, who was being scolded, could not hear his wife's scolding because he did not want to light the fire to cook and was eating in the cafeteria at that time.

"Aqiu..." Suning sneezed unconsciously.

"What's wrong? Are you catching a cold?" Zhao Si@ling, who was sitting opposite Suning, asked in confusion.

"No! My wife must be missing me."

"Haha, why don't you quickly take her and the child over?"

"Well, I'm going to take some leave next month to go back and pick them up."

"Then I approve your leave application."

"Thank you, Commander Zhao."
